Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy expressed unhappiness on June 12 at the results of an inspection he ordered into all Ukrainian shelters after three people were killed when they were unable to access one during a Russian air strike in Kyiv.

In his nightly video address, Zelenskiy said he had received summary reports on the shelters' "preparedness and unpreparedness" from Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko; Oleksandr Kamyshyn, the minister for strategic industries; and Deputy Prime Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov.

"The results, to put it mildly, are unsatisfactory," he said. "Relevant draft decisions will be prepared by [June 16]."
